CIDP is an autoimmune disease of the peripheral nervous system, responding well to treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), steroids and plasmapheresis. IVIg is effective in treating patients with CIDP, but most of the patients need long time maintenance treatment, which is associated with decreased autonomy and regular hospital admissions. Furthermore many of the patients complain of infusion related side effects such as headache, chills and fatigue, and over time there is problems obtaining intravenous entry because of occlusion of the veins.
